Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Fitzroy Juniors, Alf Boyce began his VFL career with South Melbourne, quickly establishing himself as a dangerous option in the forward half. He maintained a high strike rate throughout his time at the Lake Oval, notably booting a bag of five goals against Fitzroy in 1917, though his momentum was interrupted when the club sat out the 1916 season due to the First World War. After missing the entire 1919 season, Boyce returned to his roots to play a final four games for Fitzroy in 1920. Despite a career spanning just 22 matches, he remained effective in front of the big sticks until the end, finishing with a career tally of 32 goals.
